Mount Diablo Fire Monitoring

GOAL

Crowd-sourced time lapse of fire recovery

TASK

Visit four trailside signs, take photos, post to social media

Inspired by the USGS's Sam Droege (the man behind monitorchange.org), we're starting another project to turn park visitors into a remote sensor network! It's simple: Put up a sign asking people to set their cameras or phones in an angle bracket, take a photo, and post it with a hashtag to Twitter, Instagram, or Flickr. Then we harvest the photos and create timelapse views of change over time.
